Coming In One Week: The Countdown of the Top 15 Softball Stories in 2019

The selection of the 2020 USA Softball Olympic Team which was announced on October 6, 2019: one of the top stories of the year? We’ll reveal the Top 15 Softball Stories of 2019 starting Tuesday, Dec. 17! Be sure to add your opinion… see below for details!

We’re just about a week away from unveiling the Top 15 Softball Stories of the year in softball which will begin on Tuesday, December 17. We will start with Story #15 and finish on Tuesday, December 31st (New Year’s Eve) with the #1 story of the year.

So what will they be? Key developments are continually happening in the sport–we even had one occur this week that you probably don’t even know about (but will by the end of the month)!

We would love to get YOUR opinion on what you think will have been the most impactful, surprising, shocking, inspiring, funny or interesting stories occurring in fastpitch softball–from January 1, 2019 through the end of this month.

We already did our Top 10 Stories of the 2019 Summer and will include some of these in our year-end count-down.

Overall, do you think this year’s #1 story was…

  • … the impact of the Transfer Portal?
  • … the USA Olympic Team being chosen?
  • … softball being kept out of the 2024 Paris Olympics?
  • … UCLA reclaiming its spot atop the college world?
  • … or was it something else?

For comparison, here were our picks a year ago:
